Welcome to August ✨ I’m thrilled to say our book this month is “BRIEFLY PERFECTLY HUMAN: Making an Authentic Life by Getting Real About the End” by Alua Arthur… About the book: “For her clients and everyone who has been inspired by her humanity, Alua Arthur is a friend at the end of the world. As our country’s leading death doula, she’s spreading a transformative message: thinking about your death—whether imminent or not—will breathe wild, new potential into your life. Warm, generous, and funny AF, Alua supports and helps manage end-of-life care on many levels. The business matters, medical directives, memorial planning; but also honoring the quiet moments, when monitors are beeping and loved ones have stepped out to get some air—or maybe not shown up at all—and her clients become deeply contemplative and want to talk. Briefly Perfectly Human is a life-changing, soul-gathering debut, by a writer whose empathy, tenderness, and wisdom shimmers on the page. Alua Arthur combines intimate storytelling with a passionate appeal for loving, courageous end-of-life care—what she calls ‘death embrace.’ Hers is a powerful testament to getting in touch with something deeper in our lives, by embracing the fact of our own mortality. ‘Hold that truth in your mind,’ Alua says, ‘and wondrous things will begin to grow around it.’”
